Rubbermaid Juice box with straw great trainer.

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone!

I have been reading here about the sippy cups and so on. Jonas has never

gotten the idea of a sippy cup, but being the serious ball player in training

that he is, he throws an open cup of anything across the room after he takes one

sip unless I have a death grip on it. So, the therapist recommended that we try

a product made in the U.S.A. by " Rubbermaid " company. It is called simply a

juice box. This is rectangular in shape and is not generally found with the

baby products at discount stores like Wal Mart or the like. I find them with

the rubbermaid products like storage containers etc. The container has a screw

on lid with a flip up straw. It is not spill proof but spill resistant. The

best thing, is that you can squeeze these containers a tiny bit while they are

in your child's mouth and they will get some of the liquid. It took Jonas no

time at all of us squeezing the container for him to learn to suck through the

straw on his own. Now he can drink through any straw, but he still throws an

open glass of anything about 10 feet in any direction if he can get his hands on

one. UUGH! I recommend this drinking appliance for anyone out there like me

who owns every style of sippy cup and drinking cup made for children, and still

has not had success.
